  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐻🚀 Scientists are studying how hibernating #animals survive months without food, hoping to replicate the process in #humans for #space travel.

    Researchers funded by #NASA and #ESA are testing #brain stimulation techniques like #ultrasound to trigger torpor. The work could make #Mars missions feasible and help treat Parkinson’s and stroke on #Earth.

  3. "The promise of synthetic torpor extends far beyond making space travel safer. Scientists are studying it as a treatment for a wide range of diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Hibernation seems to trigger broad repair and regenerative capacities across many organs and cell types. And it seems to hinder the growth of cancer cells and makes them more vulnerable to treatment."

  4. Is there a simple way (i.e. not patching the kernel or similar funny business) to make the Linux Suspend-to-Disk hibernation turn off the computer as with a system shutdown poweroff. I.e. I don't want it to wake up from hitting a key on an input device; only actuating the power button should start it up again.

    Since I also want to use Suspend-to-RAM (standby), waking up using input device key-press disabling the Wake-on-X in UEFI config isn't the option here.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐻🎣 The #Katmai bear cams return June 23, livestreaming brown #bears #fishing for #salmon at #BrooksFalls, #Alaska.

    Adult males gain roughly a pound per day, going from about 700 lbs (318 kg) to over 1,200 lbs (544 kg) by fall, storing fat to survive #winter weight loss of up to one-third their body mass. The 2025 Fat Bear Week champion Chunk emerged from #hibernation with a healing broken jaw.

    Thank you, Rob Pike, for posting this.

    I am in a different field, and of little importance in that field, so it is preposterous of me to comment here, forgive me. But I wish to express how much energy I gain from reading your post.

    The wave of inauthenticity is all-encompassing. I spent some four decades as a university teacher, with immense pride, only to see the very notion of teaching and education destroyed before my eyes. My friends in other professions experience the same.

    I still hope for reversal.

    Your message is one of sadness and loss, but is also a sign of resistance. As one of the true pathbreakers and arbiters of good taste in your field and beyond, your voice gives strength to others who try to hold on to notions of authenticity, simplicity, elegance, humility.

    We pray these professional values will survive the long winter we are currently experiencing.

  8. "Breathing Has Worst ROI" — Hibernation Fans Now Endangered

    Youth lying still to cut food costs got classified as an endangered species.

  9. Does the mammalian #circadian clock manage to temperature-compensate during deep #hypothermia? This study shows that mice maintain circadian rhythms during a #hibernation -like hypothermic state, and that this is supported by systemic regulatory mechanisms @PLOSBiology plos.io/4tW1pJt

  10. @tth @cpu : Ceci dit, il faut quand même reconnaitre que @tetalab, notre bien-aimé community-manager, ne semble pas vraiment sorti de son #hibernation. Mais le #tetalab vous donne rendez-vous samedi 28 mars pour découvrir en exclusivité mondiale la #Tetanoise, l'ultime machine à déchirer les tympans, dont nous attendons avec impatience la publication du dossier technique.

  11. ❄️ In winter forests, bears vanish into quiet dens while hearts slow and bodies wait. What unfolds inside that long stillness?

    Curious how a bear’s muscle, bone, and life endure months of near silence?

    A season of stillness, a quiet lesson in resilience.

    Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

    # 287

    Research suggests that around one in five #bumblebee queens perish during winter #hibernation.
    Heavier queens, having greater reserves of fat and glycogen, are more likely to survive than their lighter counterparts.

    Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

    # 286

    Before entering hibernation in the autumn #bumblebee queens build up reserves of fat and glycogen in their bodies.
    These queens will lose up to 80% of their fat reserves during #hibernation over the winter period.

  14. Blanket fort report:
    Short-notice snow storm was perfect for nesting all day. Made crockpot mashed potatoes, baked oatcakes, carved up a rotisserie chicken, and marinated cucumbers. Also made raspberry jello with extra gelatin because I am a child and it makes me happy.
    Gonna feast tonight.

    And because I could work in front of the fireplace, I put together merch for the #Capricon46 website with new art from the designer. Wanna see?
